The team behind Dollop Coffee Company is bringing its next concept to Evanston. Dollop General Store& Café opened on Monday, July 25, at 1508 Sherman Ave., Evanston in the Albion Evanston building. This concept offers the same Dollop coffee and housemade pastry service, but with a twist. Guests at the Dollop General Store can also shop for household necessities and favorites such as beer and wine, local Ice cream pints, breakfast cereals, snacks, everyday pantry items and more. Later this summer, the Dollop General Store will serve soft serve ice cream cones.
The new concept will be a full-service café with Dollop’s signature coffee bar, pastries and donuts and will feature several new specialty coffee/tea drinks including: the Orange CreamsicleCold Brew (cold brew, orange zest, oat milk, and vanilla), Blue Milk Latte (vanilla mint, cold brewed pea flower tea, cold foam oat milk), and a refreshing Strawberry Lemongrass Matcha (strawberry lemon grass blend, matcha tea, and oat milk).
“We are excited to bring this concept to Evanston and to this area of Evanston which lacks an accessible grocery store,” says owner Dan Weiss. “I spent a lot of time in Evanston and a teenager and young adult and have really dreamed of bringing something unique and needed to this community.”
Weiss, a graduate of Roycemore Prep High School, was a regular at several extinct, classic Evanston cafes such as Cafe Express, Cafe Ambiance and Potion Liquid Lounge. Dollop General Store & Café captures some of that café nostalgia which also providing a needed resource to this area of Evanston.
Dollop General Store & Café is the 20th location in owner Dan Weiss's Dollop family and will be open seven days a week from 7 a.m.-7 p.m.
